WEEK 26 Results

Wow, what a finish to the season...there will be a documentary on 9/28/2011 some day....lets recap our last week

STUD OF THE WEEK -Vince Salvatore

Vince finished out the season with a bang and went with a very smart pick...most players went with a player from a team that was in a close finish for the wild cards, but Vince went with Matt Kemp (4/13, 2 HR, 6 RBIs) who recently said he would rather have a 40HR -40SB season, than get MVP...so you know he was aware of his stats...he had 37 HRs entering the week....falling 1 shy of his 40-40...he did have 40 SB....and he will probably get that MVP as well...Good Pick Vince...He finishes the season 4th on the money leaders list at $83.32 (end of season prize $ not added yet) (Google Pic - SV3)

DUDS of the WEEK - Ty Meyer, David Rossi

Ty My went with his favorite player Ty Wigginton and he had nothing this week...Rossi went with Konerko, who was hurt and didn't play all week...

Week 21 Recap - Despicable M. E.

STUD OF THE WEEK - MICHAEL EMMONS

Emmons went with Carlos Gonzalez this week and that paid off huge for him, as he went 13/27 with 3 HRs and 10 RBIs...(26 pts) He is pretty far back in AVG and RBIS, but he still has a shot at a top 3 finish in HRs, as now he only sits 6 HRs away from 3rd place...that would be a familiar place as that is where he finished last season...3rd in HRs...This was his 1st SOTW of the year and now he sits in 4th place in the Money Leaders with $50 (Finance Page) (Google Pic - ME)

DUDS OF THE WEEK - Curlis and Salvatore

These guys both picked Adam (not pacman) Jones this week and he only got 1 hit...at least that 1 hit got him 2 RBIs...for a total of 3 pts this week...This is the 2nd DUD for each of them and the 2nd straight week for Curlis to be in this paragraph. It is terrible timing for Curlis as he is the hunt in both HRs and RBIs...he needs a big bounce back week...

STREAKS

- Graven has at least 8 hits in 5 straight weeks...The current RBI Leader was hitting .284 prior to that...now at .304

- Salvatore has 5 or less hits in 4 straight weeks...went from .294 to now .276

- C Jones has HR'ed at least once in 14 straight weeks...at least 2 HRs in 3 straight weeks, and has an amazing 30 HRs since week 8...

-...in comparison, his son Ryan has 0 HRs in 5 straight weeks, and 4 HRs since week 8...WOW, you are due for about 5 this week

- Punches has at least 2 RBIs in every week this season, only person to do so ...yet is still 10 RBIs out of 3rd place

- D Rychener has had 2 RBIs or less in 4 straight weeks...

8/10 Recap - Week 18 Scoring Change

I ran across an article that explains what happened last week in an at bat with Big Papi, read about here ->
http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2011/08/david_ortiz_get.html

Anyways, long story short, the Red Sox appealed a play to MLB where Papi should have been credited with an RBI, and they overturned the initial scoring, so in week 18 Papi now is credited with 4 RBIs, instead of 3. Riether and Salvatore were given credit for the extra RBI...

Back to this week -

8/10 STUD of the Day
Matt Kemp was 4/5 with an RBI...

Others: Tulo, Cano, Votto, and Pence were the picks that hit bombs last night...

WEEK 16 RECAP

It was a rough week for many of us as only 14 players actually improved thier batting average..what a good week to win the SOTW for...

STUD OF THE WEEK - Ryan Smith

Big week for Smitty as not only does he win it all by himself, but that everyone else struggled so much that he now finds himself in 3rd place in BA at .309 ...He went with Jacoby Ellsbury, who was a 1st time RTTC pick and he went 12-26, with 3 HRs and 7 RBIs (22pts). This was his 2nd solo SOTW in the past 5 weeks, and now finds himself as the current 2011 money leader at this point. Congrats Smitty on your winnings...aka diaper stash...(google pic - 2 smitty)

DUDS OF THE WEEK - Emmons, Salvatore

This was the 1st DUD for both of these guys this year...They each only got 2 pts this week going with BJ Upton and Adam Dunn...Dunn has just been awful this year...he went 2/12 this week and that RAISED his season average..He is probably hitting his 6th grade weight...At least most of the rest of league had a bad week as well..so could have been worse for these 2...

HOT - last 3 weeks

BA - Smith - 25/66 - .379

HR - Smith, C Jones - 6

RBI - Riether - 16

NOT - last 3 weeks

BA - Leonard - 5/33 - .152

HR - Krista Krauss - 0

RBI - Bindel, Leonard - 3

Week 2 Recap

Lets get right into it...short morning with the 11AM game....

STUDS OF THE WEEK - W Rychener, Brink, Salvatore...

All 3 of these guys finished with a crazy 26 pts (14/27, 4HR, 8RBIs via Tulo)...This has put each of them in the top 10 of all 3 categories...lets see how long they can stay up top....Congrats on all 3 for splitting the $50...(Google Pic - RBS)

DUDS OF THE WEEK - Zgela, Leonard

Each of them only got 2 pts this week via Crawford and Kinsler...Zgela is still at .340 though, but Leonard fell below the .200 mark at .191...

STAT THAT MAY ONLY AMAZE ME -
